Another smash hit, best-selling winner, featuring more hilarious, laugh-out-loud, slapstick comedy set in Oldbury, the funniest town in the West Midlands!
Charlie Stroker’s Mini Centre lies in the backstreets of a small Black Country town just a short distance from the gates of the factory that built them. But now with the best years of the business behind him, his dream of making a fortune from a lifelong passion is quickly fading away. Straining relations still further with his discontented wife and their antisocial teenager. Both already disenchanted by a decade of wilful neglect and a tankerload of cooking sauce!
Following a chance encounter of the deep-fried kind, he learns of a long-forgotten stash of valuable Mini spares languishing on a remote Mediterranean island. Recognising the chance to change his fortunes, he embarks on a quest to bring them home. For Britain! For glory! But most of all for the money!
Will this barmy enterprise be the making of Charlie? Or will his first ever foreign holiday finish off both his marriage and his business? It’s a bawdy comic caper, but only a chancer named Stroker could pull off The Sardinian Job!
Some 5 star reviews from people I honestly don't know!
"Absolutely brilliant! The Italian Job has been a favourite film since I saw it in 1969. This book has me creased up with laughter. The characters are spot on. Another brilliant book from the author, well done. Highly recommended especially if you are a petrol head! Would make a great film with Toby Jones as Charlie? Can't wait for your next book!"
"I read "The Sardinian Job" in one sitting. It was like sharing stories with four old blokes at the pub--who have had one too many!"
"This chap writes very well. Wacky humour. Lots of Tom Sharpe in his style. Interesting story line, wildly unlikely characters. All whipped up into a very entertaining highly irreverent and extremely funny book."
